PSG transfer news: Zabarnyi confirmed, Donnarumma set for Manchester City | OneFootball

This is the next chapter in the saga: a summary of the latest news about Paris Saint-Germain’s transfer window. Here’s a roundup of the last 24 hours (published earlier in the evening) to cover what is or isn’t happening, what’s progressing or surprising. Today’s focus is on Ilya Zabarnyi, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Matvey Safonov, and Arnau Tenas.

It’s official:

The 22-year-old Ukrainian defender, who has been on PSG’s radar for some time and ready to join, has finally been able to sign his contract and thus confirm his move from Bournemouth. The transfer is for a total of 66 million euros including bonuses, with a five-year contract.

Opinion on the transfer:

Marquinhos (31 years old) still very much has his place at the top level, but starting to think about the future makes sense. This even brings real competition right away. PSG didn’t make such an investment by chance; the Ukrainian has superb qualities in duels (both on the ground and in the air) and interesting footwork to start plays. Of course, there are still aspects he needs to refine. Marquinhos will be there to pass on his experience and gradually give him more space. Zabarnyi’s potential is huge—Paris may have just recruited one of its pillars for years to come.

Transfers possibly soon to be finalized:

Gianluigi Donnarumma pushed towards the exit! The 26-year-old goalkeeper, whose contract ends in a year, has been invited to leave by PSG, as he is not in the squad for the European Super Cup this Wednesday against Tottenham. It might not happen quickly, but this new development in a tense situation suggests a transfer could be on the horizon. Especially since the invitation to other clubs is clear.

Manchester United and Chelsea, once mentioned, have been ruled out. However, a transfer to Manchester City, as Galatasaray moves forward for Ederson, now seems quite possible.

Transfers under consideration:

Nothing at this stage.

Rumored moves:

Matvey Safonov to Russia or the United States? While all eyes are on Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years old), the Russian goalkeeper of the same age (exactly the same day) may also be questioning his future. Some Russian media mention a return home or a possible move to the United States. Nothing is certain, as there are no offers. And Safonov could also continue to fight for playing time at PSG.

Arnau Tenas to Como? Another goalkeeper in limbo, but the 24-year-old Spaniard was the third choice and it seems time for him to seek more playing time. A departure is being considered, and after some La Liga clubs, this time Como has been mentioned by Gianluigi Di Marzio. Nothing unthinkable, but nothing certain for now.
